This is what I did with my one piece sissy bar, used some gloss touch up paint to clean up the brackets where I ground them down.

Slim Passenger Seat Rest (sissy bar)
Anyone have a passenger seat rest thats short? Like 6 inches or so? I want just enough to provide support without being super long. Im and removable swapping out my 2013 Slim seat for a BLackline seat the 2 up part of it looks better and has more seating area without taking away the look of the bike...than and its removable in a couple minutes....Thanks.

Bowman Welding Sissy Bar
Here are a few pictures of my 2013 Softail Slim with the Bowman Sissy bar that I ordered through Ebay. Great workmanship and I'm really pleased. I have since put on the passenger pillion and I'm going to have a custom made sissy bar pad made. I, too love the look of the existing lights and didn't want to move anything. I have a Harley Davidson Daybag for daily use and for overnighters I have the Harley Davidson Touring Bag. They fit over the sissy bar and sit on the pillion and work great!! (Not the best pictures with all the garage clutter in the background but you can get the general idea of what it looks like) Bowman does also sell a sissy bar without the bracket for a sissy bar pad.

Please let me know what route you go for the custom pad. I would like to do the same.

That's what I am thinking of buying. No need for any mods just bolt it on and go. I found a picture of a Blackline that looks pretty cool with it on there. I talked to the eBay seller and he said he could powercoat flat black as well..gloss might match better with the lines? With this and a pillion I could carry my wife on occasion and also get a sissy bar bag for overnight trips. Would love to see some pics of Slims with sissy bars mounted before I pull the trigger.
